Rev-A-Shelf is the brand behind a large share of the pull-out bins fitted in American kitchens, which is why the sizing is sane and the spare parts exist. The decision is not really which brand - it is bottom-mount or door-mount, and how wide the cabinet is.

The short answer
Buy the Rev-A-Shelf 53WC-1835SCDM-213 Double Pull-Out. It is the steel-frame door-mount unit, which means the cabinet door travels with the bins and you never touch a bare bucket - the right answer for anyone fitting this to a kitchen they actually cook in. The budget pick is the Rev-A-Shelf Value Line Double Pull-Out, the cheapest full two-bucket unit here and the one to fit if this is a rental or a first attempt. If your cabinet is already fitted and you only need new buckets, the RV-35-52 Replacement Containers are the part to order.

Rev-A-Shelf RV-35-52 Replacement Pull-Out Containers, 35 QuartReplacement 35-quart buckets, because a cracked bin is not a reason to rip out a working frame.
All four are built around the same 35-quart bucket, which is the quiet reason to stay inside this brand: the consumable part of a pull-out is the plastic container, and Rev-A-Shelf still sells it on its own years later.

Bottom-mount or door-mount: the only decision that matters
Every Rev-A-Shelf unit is one or the other, and retrofitting from one to the other means new slides.
Door-mount units bolt to the back of the cabinet door. You pull the door, the bins come out with it. It is the behavior everybody wants, and it is what the 53WC and the Value Line do. The cost is a fiddlier install - the door bracket has to be square or the door sits proud.
Bottom-mount units sit on the cabinet floor on their own slides. You open the door, then pull the frame. The 4WCSC is this type, and it uses Blum Blumotion slides, which are the best hardware in this roundup by a distance. It is also the only one here that will carry a very heavy double load without complaint.
Width is not negotiable. The double units in this roundup are built for an 18-inch cabinet. If yours is 15 inches or 12 inches, a double will not go in and you want a single - pull-out trash cans for 12-inch cabinets covers that case properly.

Door mounting is the detail that separates a good pull-out from an annoying one: you pull the cabinet door and the bins come with it, rather than opening a door and then pulling a separate frame. The steel frame will not flex under two full buckets the way a wire basket does.
What we'd flag: door-mount kits have to be adjusted carefully at install or the door sits proud of the run. Budget the extra fifteen minutes to get the brackets square.

There is a reason this is the one most kitchen fitters reach for — it fits standard 18-inch cabinets, the parts are widely stocked, and replacement containers are sold separately so a cracked bucket does not mean a new kit.
What we'd flag: a wire frame flexes under two full buckets in a way a steel-panel frame does not. Over years, that flex is what knocks the slides out of alignment.

Slides are where pull-out bins fail, because they carry a lot of weight through a lot of cycles. Blum's Blumotion is the benchmark: heavy-duty, genuinely soft-closing, and serviceable. If you are installing this in a kitchen you intend to keep, this is the version to buy.
What we'd flag: the minimum cabinet opening is 15" wide by 20-5/8" high, which rules out a lot of 12-inch cabinets. Check the opening, not the cabinet's nominal size.

The bucket cracks long before the frame or the slides wear out — usually at the handle cut-out. Replacement containers cost a small fraction of a whole kit and drop straight into an existing RV-series frame. This is the first thing to check before you price a replacement.
What we'd flag: confirm your frame is an RV-series before ordering. Other Rev-A-Shelf lines take different buckets, and the dimensions are close enough to be misleading.
A pull-out hides the can and frees the floor. It does not make the kitchen smell better, and in a closed cabinet it can make it worse, because there is no air moving over the bag. The fix is a lidded bucket or a carbon pod, not a bigger unit - how to stop trash can smell has the full list.
The second thing people underestimate is bag size. A 35-quart bucket is roughly 8.75 gallons, so a 13-gallon tall kitchen bag is loose in it and drags. Trash can liners vs trash bags explains why the flat-pack liner is usually the better buy for a pull-out.
The two we would actually order: the 53WC if you are fitting a cabinet from scratch, the RV-35-52 buckets if you already have a unit and the plastic has gone.
The 53WC-1835SCDM-213 double pull-out. It is the door-mount steel-frame unit, so the bins travel with the cabinet door, and it takes two 35-quart containers in a standard 18-inch cabinet.
What size cabinet do Rev-A-Shelf double pull-outs need?
The double units in this roundup are built for an 18-inch base cabinet. A 15-inch or 12-inch cabinet needs a single-bucket unit instead.
Is door-mount or bottom-mount better?
Door-mount for everyday use, because you pull the door and the bins follow. Bottom-mount if you want the heaviest-duty slides, which is where the Blum Blumotion 4WCSC sits.
Can you buy replacement buckets for a Rev-A-Shelf unit?
Yes. The RV-35-52 containers are sold as a pair and drop into existing Rev-A-Shelf frames built around the 35-quart bucket, which is most of them.
What size bag fits a 35-quart pull-out container?
Roughly 8.75 gallons of volume, so an 8 to 10 gallon liner fits properly. A 13-gallon tall kitchen bag will go in but hangs loose and gets dragged into the bucket.
Do these come with a lid?
No. Pull-out containers are open-topped by design - the cabinet is the lid. That is also why odor control inside a closed cabinet needs its own answer.
